Most likely we will use a laser cutter but if we get enough orders we will have them diecut. Also a cutting plotter would dull very quickly cutting through corrugated so edges would not be as clean.

All of that copy in my comment is suppose to be displayed on the product page but Shopify seems to be broken at the moment. We are not trying to mislead anyone. Google released all the drawings and is encouraging people to build these, we j

I wonder what the chances of labor coordinating and everyone deciding collectively to take the offer at the same time? That would put Amazon in a tough spot and allow labor to negotiate a better deal. Amazon must be very confident that won&

I think you are likely correct on the cost. I would honestly like to know what the most cost effective way is to save a life. My guess would be vaccines in 3rd world. There is something that still bothers me about laws like these. A very vo

Don't you think higher end brands have an aversion to selling on Amazon? Having tried to sell a brand product on Amazon I have found that the Amazon customer is very price sensitive.
